Re: [Swarm-Support] Outlayers in an EZgraph

[Paul Johnson]

Did you ever notice that, if you stop a simulation, then  you can use 
the left mouse button to select the region you want to display?  Then 
start the sim again and the graph shrinks to the selected area.  Right 
click will undo it.


It appears to me you are making progress in your Swarm mission, so let 
me throw you the next "help you help yourself" piece of info. A question 
like "is there any way to do X" can be answered by looking at the 
reference guide, which lists all the protocols/classes and all of the 
methods they answer to.   I recommend everybody keep an copy of the docs 
in their computers. Mine are under ~/swarm/docs. 
http://www.swarm.org/wiki/Swarm:_documentation

I prefer the html format, and there's a copy stashed here in case you 
can't find it anywhere else

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/swarmdocs-2.2.tar.gz

But I gather most other people like the pdf format you get on swarm.org.

If you don't have that, look in the file 
/usr/include/swarm/analysis/EZGraph.h and you see a listing of all the 
method names.  For setting axis limits, these two appear very promising,

- (void)setRangesXMin: (double)xmin Max: (double)xmax;
- (void)setRangesYMin: (double)ymin Max: (double)ymax;


and if I were you I'd try the reference manual, or just hack some code 
and test a model with this:

[someGraph setRangesYMin: 1.0 Max: 44.00];

It is a USING phase method, so use that after the createBegin/createEnd 
is complete. (I found it was in the USING phase by looking in 
/usr/include/swarm/analysis.h, which is the file where the documentation 
is written and the words in there are processed to make the reference guide.
